The following exercises should be named "counted01a", "counted03b", etc.

1. (a) Ask the user their name and output the name 5 times.  (turing solution)

   Extension: 

   (b) Allow the user to specify the number of outputs. (turing solution)

   
   Hold down mouse and scroll over hints to highlight them and make them visible

   Hint 1	Hint 2	Hint 3
   for count : 1 .. 5	Ask the user for an integer value (N)	for count : 1 .. N

    

2. (a) Output the times-tables (from 1 to 12) for whichever number the user requests.  For example, if the user enters 3, your output should be:

   1 x 3 = 3

   2 x 3 = 6

   ...

   12 x 3 = 36

   Hint: See the Output in Turing page for a more compact (efficient) way to "put" multiple values on the same line.
   (turing solution) 

   Extension:

   (b) Allow the user to specify the start and end to the table (e.g., 4 to 15); (turing solution)

   (c) Allow the user to specify the step size (e.g., by 3 is 4, 7, 10, 13).

    

   Hint 1	Hint 2	Hint 3
   Need a for loop from 1 to 12	Use a "put" statement inside the for loop to display your answer	Combine "put" statements using the ".." at the end of each line; you need to output (a) the user's number, (b) the current counter, and (c) the product of userNum*counter

    

3. (a) Write a program which will ask the user how many symbols to output, and then output that many lines of symbols (one symbol on each line). To start, use the '*' symbol. (Turing Solution)
   (b) Write a program which will ask the user how many symbols to output, and then it will output that many symbols on one line.  To start, use the '*' symbol.
   For example,  if the user enters 5, the output would be:
   *****
   (c) Output the user's number as well as the symbols, all on the same line.  For example, if the user entered a value of 10, the output would be:
   10 **********
   (d) Modify your program to allow the user to choose a symbol as well.
   Number of symbols? 7
   Symbol to use? @
   7 @@@@@@@
   (e) Allow the user the specify the total number of symbols and how many to print on each line.
   For example, if the user entered 10 symbols with 4 per line, the output might be:
   $$$$
   $$$$
   $$
   (the last line only has two symbols because we only print 10 total)
    
4. (a) Output the numbers from 1 to 10 both numerically (i.e., “1”, “2”, etc.) and graphically (using the character of your choice). 

   For example, output might look something like this:

   1  *

   2  **

   3  ***

   4  ****

   Hint:  You may want to look at methods for combining strings here (Output in Turing) (Turing Solution) 

   Extension: 

   (b) Allow the user to specify the start and end numbers of the range.

   (c) Allow the user to specify the symbol to be used in building the graphical component (e.g., *, +, x, #, @)
   (d) Modify your program to print the pattern horizontally instead of vertically.  For example, the output might look like:
   
      *
     **
    ***
   **** 

    

5. (a) Ask the user to enter 5 integer values between 1 and 50.  Create a simple bar graph using the character of your choice.

   Hint: You may want to try to use a loop within a loop (a nested loop).  Don't forget to indent properly! 

   For example:  If the user were to enter 3, 1, 6, 2, 5, the output might look like:

   ###

   #

   ######

   ##

   #####

   Extension:

   (b) Let the user specify the number of values;

   (c) Let the user enter any values they want, and scale your graph so it fits on the screen.
   (d)  [challenge] Make the bar graph horizontal

    

6. (a) [Challenge] Ask the user to input a number between 1 and 99, and then tell the user how many "tens" and how many "ones" in their number.

   For example, if the user entered 75:

   75 has 7 tens and 5 ones

   Extension:

   (b) Increase the scope of the program to include "hundreds" and allow inputs from 1 to 999

   (c) Improve your output to avoid any grammatical errors (i.e., say "11 has 1 ten and 1 one", not "1 has 1 tens and 1 ones")

   (d) Further improve your output to avoid any "zero" statements (i.e., say "7 has 7 ones", not "7 has 0 tens and 7 ones")

   (e) Let the user specify how many numbers they will enter.

        Hint: you will probably want to have one number entry per line, and you will break down each number as they enter it.
